I guess they will be available starting April 4th. I have dealer looking into it, but thats all I have been able to figure out.

It's parts that are in between an R-Design and Polestar model. As of right now the Exhaust and Air Filter is only for Drive-E motors. Everything else should bolt up just fine.

I'm pretty much in for them spoiler addition for looks. Maybe the wheels at some point though I can't see running 21 on this vehicle. My RD is a 2015.5 so I don't see replacing the suspension until further down the line for what would be just an incremental improvement. Most of the cosmetic stuff is a nice upgrade from the base model, but kinda redundant for an RD.

Is there any other info available?

the lower door moulding + rear boot moulding do they come pre-finished in black?? My understanding is the door mouldings should fit all 14+ XC60's...

Damn polestar just take all my money!

Dealer tried to install the Polestar shifter and boot to my XC60, but didn't take my request seriously to check on the need for a shift tower and module upgrade. Now my shifter and boot is a table ornament.

I have now received the shift tower and installed all parts into my 2014 XC60. Must admit, it looks way cooler than the shifter that came as standard equipment.

T5 drive-e polestar engine upgrade

Dealer just installed Polestar Engine software upgrade. Took about 20 minutes. Definitely an improvement in low end off the mark take-off. The shift still seems sloppy and not as crisp as i expected it would be. On/off Throttle response is improved and the transmission holds the gears better when cornering and in curves.

Yes.

I wondered this myself but that's what they are and my guess is that they stick on to the existing rear piece with adhesive.

Curious about the exhaust and suspension set up, but wondering if the exhaust will have the same issue that the Kpax one does in that it isn't made to fit the exhaust surround for the RD models as plug and play.

I would say they're more for the non-RD as the improvement to price ratio would be more favorable.

On an RD, all the trim pieces would just replace the satin silver with gloss black. The suspension on an RD is already stiff. We'll see how the P* setup compares.

I think the filter and exhaust are only for the Drive-E.

Can't understand the appeal of changing the shifter for just a blue label. Is it that different from the non RD?

I'll probably get the wing extensions just for looks. I wish they had the nubuck steering wheel available. That would be nice.

I asked Polestar if they will be releasing a down pipe, they said they no plans to produce one for the XC 60 platform. The Kpax exhaust has been signed off by Volvo so warranty will not be voided.

S60/v60/xc60 all use the same downpipe regardless of t6/rdesign/polestar, so it won't be platform specific whether you're ordering from ferrita, Volvo or anyone else.

Sounds like pricing will be available sometime over the next two weeks.

Hoping the prices are somewhat reasonable considering the white XC60 that I've seen with the exterior accessories looks amazing!

Availability and pricing won't be out until Fall for US market.

I would like to seek comments or recommendations.

I have a stock MY2016 XC60 on 18" wheels with P* performance optimization tune.
I am wondering what to expect if I install the P* intake/exhaust package. Performance/Sound/Ride?

Dealer normally have introduction promotion but only on launch day. And I hate to pay at full price if I want to do it later. On the other hand, jumping in without knowing how much I can get from it is not desirable too.

Thanks.

I have driven an XC60 T6 w/ all of the above plus Polestar springs. Fantastic experience and performance. Ride was one step tighter than a current T6 R-design w/ 20" wheels; performance, on par of even better than the 6-cylinder w/ Polestar optimization, shifting is infinitely quicker and sharper than w/ the 6-cylinder in Sport mode, sounds was very, very good. Not as raspy as the 6-cylinder Polestar engineered cars but sounded very, very good.

Is your retailer a Polestar-certified retailer?

I'm still not seeing anything available. WTH Volvo, Polestar?!

The odd item has trickled onto viva performance parts.. like the spoiler parts, the brake conversion kit etc... but I am really interested in seeing the pricing on the rear boot cover and door sill covers.

Oh yes, I see now, on Viva.. Well it's a good start. Thanks!
